April interviewee
I interviewed April 22 - 24. I got a call on May 8th telling me that I got the job and a July 7 indoc date. Two days later Linda called to say someone cancelled on the June 16 class and I could start then if I wanted. I did of course. At that point I realized I was lucky to get the call so soon. Now I realize I was TREMENDOUSLY lucky considering the run around people have gotten since late April.
I am currently at Flight Safety for sim training. I had 10 days off between indoc and sims, however, some in my indoc class will have 6 weeks off in between and won't start sims until August. It seems as if the reason for the slow down may have be to let Flight Safety catch up a bit. There are only so many slots and they don't want people sitting around for months on end getting paid.
While I was in indoc Karen mentioned that they were having limited interviews in June and July. She said that they have just about reached capacity in hiring to fill all Flight Safety sim slots through 2008. She said they are waiting to see what the 2009 Flight Safety slots will look like before proceeding with interviews beyond July.
The frustrating thing about all of this is that it seems like they should be able to project all of the Flight Safety slots at least 12 months out. After all, isn't NetJets Flight Safety's #1 customer?
My point in all of this is that they are saying the backup is due to Flight Safety. It just seems very odd. And yes, I agree with each of you, this all seems INCREDIBLY unprofessional. Very disappointing and concerning.
My fingers are crossed for each of you. Hopefully next week will bring good news and things will start moving again.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO DERINDA? IS SHE STILL EMPLOYED BY NETJETS?
